Unveiling the Secrets of the Red Carpet


Skirtless outfit Elise Overland Fall 2008 Collection




Glitzy, glamorous - perfectly coutured, dazzling from hair to toe, the A-list celebrities make their way up the red carpet.


As countless photographers shout instructions to the celebs, lights embellish the celebrities as they walk past background banners embodied with the logos of event sponsors.


Whether it's a movie opening or the biggest red carpet event of them all - the Academy Awards, the A-List celebrities of tinsel town parade before the cameras and the tv spot lights.


But behind this beautifully crafted fairy tale façade, is a deeper and sinister side.


The side of the red carpet that few outsiders ever know.


The side of the red carpet that only a daughter, born of a Oscar winning director and a cover model mother, could know.

For in this town, being on the A-list is not a guarantee of a daughter's success.


In fact, a famous daughter may just have to survive by selling her mother's last season's hand me downs Chanel on eBay just to pay the rent.


Try having every Hollywood connection in the world and still being a total failure.


This is the story of a daughter of Hollywood legends who yearn for success and love, but fail to find it, until.


Until, she teams up with a hot, yet unknown fashion designer who is trying to get his designs on the backs of the Academy Awards nominatives.


Find out what it takes to score an Academy Awards nominative to wear a unknown designer's outfit in this novel that leaves nothing to the imagination except who the real life inspirations for the characters were.






In their first book - CELEBUTANTES, two daughters of Hollywood icons Amanda Goldberg and Ruthanna Khalighi Hopper reveal the deep, dark secrets behind the Red Carpet fashions.


Amanda Goldberg, daughter of legendary film and television producer Leonard Goldberg, has been called "One to Watch" by Vogue and has landed on Harper's Bazaar's "Best Dressed" List. After working with acclaimed designer Todd Oldham, Goldberg joined her father's production company where she was the Associate Producer on the blockbuster film Charlie's Angels.


Ruthanna Khalighi Hopper is the daughter of Zabriskie Point's Daria Halprin and Easy Rider's Dennis Hopper. She started her career in production at Radical Media in New York City and went on to produce and co-star with her father in the critically acclaimed independent film Americano. Hopper was also a producer for the CineVegas Film Festival in Las Vegas.


Goldberg and Hopper are contributors to the California-based C Magazine.
